President Trump has indicated that a potential deal regarding TikTok may advance, citing support from Chinese leader Xi Jinping. During a press briefing on Air Force One, Trump mentioned that Xi had approved the agreement, though he emphasized that the deal is still under development. The administration has been working on various proposals to address national security concerns related to the Chinese social media platform, which has been a focal point of U.S.-China trade negotiations.
While the exact terms of the deal remain unclear, Trump’s comments suggest that the administration is making progress in its efforts to resolve the issue. The possibility of a resolution could have significant implications for both U.S. and Chinese tech companies, as well as their international operations. The ongoing discussions reflect the broader tensions between the two nations over technology and data security, which have been a central issue in their recent diplomatic exchanges.
